it's not a pan shot right? the guy is just sitting there stationary. U rotate zoom ring while exposing. I must say I quite like the effect even though it's an ordinary subj

it does look like a pan shot to me. look at those traces of light above the taxi, if it was taken by rotating the zoom ring, wouldn't the light be moving towards/away from the camera? instead in this shot the light is moving sideway.

i've never taken a pan shot before, this is just my logic, pls correct me if i'm wrong.

Obviously, threadstarter is telling only half the story about how this effect is achieved.

The taxi driver and the taxi are travelling at the same speed but they appear different in sharpness because ..........
